Dude, first of all you're doing awesome. The Site is called XDA-__DEVELOPERS__ for a reason. If people come here expecting perfection from the get go, they're in the wrong place. This ROM has really brought my Excalibur to life. It's faster, smoother, and the aesthetics rock!

As for BT drivers, could it be that something is just starting up too soon or before it's supposed to? I was playing around changing startup orders in the HKLM\Init key but no luck yet. Locked up the phone 4-5 times already. :)

Everything else seems fixable but BT not starting is just annoying as I have to reboot 5-6 times to get it to turn on. Can u say WEIRD!? Anyways, good job. Soon we'll all have HTC SNAP's so the journey will continue!
[HTC Excalibur] skyline247:
My 2 cents :)

I am new to this site, and have been reading all I can about the Excalibur and basically everything about upgrading/enhancements/development....so on and so forth. I am sure, since I am new, I don't have much place to say anything about anything. :) I just wanted to say a few words, and then go on about business.

I am a complete noob when it comes to smartphones, and PPC's for that matter. I just bought my first smartphone ever two months ago. And, of course, it had to be a T-Mobile Dash. So having said that, I realize now that I entered into the smartphone realm with an outdated and archaic machine. I know my Dash has limits, and soon will be dead in the drawer among the other phones that I have collected over the years. However, for an entry level machine into the smartphone field, I am pleased with it. My eyes have been opened so to speak as to how much more a cell phone can do than just make phone calls.

Now, when it comes to modding "regular old cell phones", such as my Motorola V3re, which I have flashed and reflashed the heck out of, I am pretty much an old whip and very termed with the modifications of regular phones. I never realized how much easier, and interestingly simple, so to speak, it was to, using my term - "mod", a smartphone or ppc, when , I repeat, when, you have a finished and smooth running ROM.

However, if you do not choose to install a finished ROM, and instead try an unfinished work in progress, there are going to be glitches, bugs, undesirable actions. Kind of like a desktop pc running beta's. Hmm, nice analogy eh? It is quite funny to hear someone complain about how a RC isn't functioning properly and that it should be ready right out of the box. (or maybe a better term, zip file :) )

I have tried a couple of ROM's for my Dash/Excalibur and they didn't perform just how I wished, so I reinstalled my backup original T-Mob WM 6. That is just it though, try out the ROM, if you don't like it, revert, or upgrade to a different one. For me, it seems, its all about trial and error and personal preferences. I used this thinking in modding my Razr, Samsung, V190, etc. and believe it will continue to be the same with my smartphone and future ppc experience.

I thank you NRGZ28 for all the work you, as well as all of the (what do I call you, cooks? modifiers? developers? :) ) do here. And I appreciate the fact that you all take time out of your daily lives to make something that is more efficient and improved for you as well as us, the users of your creations. And for me personally, making it so much easier to enhance and improve my phone.

Ok. Said my peace now. I will go on perusing and acquiring the knowledge so that I might one day no longer be a noob in the smartphone world, and possibly even cook a few ROM's myself. :D

I think this an amazing looking and appealing ROM. D/L ing as we speak. Gonna give it a whirl and I'll buy ya a couple of pints.

Again......Thanks.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Thanks for doing that. Unfortuantely I saw it too late otherwise I would have incorporated it into tonight's release, but it's 2 AM here and I've slaved over it for the last 3 or so, trying to make it work. Still doing the same crap with wifiinit not initializing correctly. WIll work on it more tomorrow at work.

But here's an update to the ROM in the meantime:

http://www.mobilematt.net/NRGZ28/EnergyROM/ExcaliburROM/EnergyROM 1.0 050709 Excalibur.rar

And here's the changelog for it:

older comm manager

callstart and default sounds muted

added tcpmp 072RC1

fewbits application manager (alternative to celetask)

new silver wait cursor

pagepool down to 8 megs for a little more ram

drivers from latest Roger's ROM in it now.
[HTC Excalibur] uansari1:
NRG, check your PMs...
[HTC Excalibur] drifterrolly:
ooo once all the wifi and bluetooth bugs are fixed i am so using this rom. it looks so much cleaner and newer.
[HTC Excalibur] MrBraun:
Tnx NRGZ!! :))

U are a great man! ;)

Have a nice day bud! :)
[HTC Excalibur] LiverpoolFCfan:
BT at root of Wi-Fi and CommManager issues ?

From playing around with this ROM it seems to me that the BT stack is the root of all evil !

When it starts up right, everything seems great ... WHEN it starts up !

But, when it doesn't it seems to kill a lot of functionality.

Common reported (and noted in Release Posting) issues are with WiFiInit hanging, CommManager not starting, BT not starting, and Menus freezing if any of the above is true.

Well, in watching Celetask process stacks, it seems that for whatever reason

1. WiFiInit loads BTHRT.DLL - a Bluetooth library

2. CommManager loads BTHRT.DLL

3. SAPSettings loads BTHRT.DLL

and obviously, if you have all of the above removed by whatever means and start the phone without WiFi and Bluetooth enabled, and then go to Settings->Connections->Bluetooth - it also loads BTHRT.DLL

Is it possible (or likely) that the Bluetooth chip in the Excalibur is different from that in the Rose - and that the difference is what is causing the problems.

Or a second possibility - that bTHRT.DLL has some external dependency that is registered on the Rose - but somehow not successfully registered on the Excalibur ?
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Yes I Noticed that as well. Replaced the bthrt.dll file with the one from the 6.0 builds and BT didn't start at all. What I didn't do is replace the bluetooth drivers AND bthrtl.dll together with the older build. And Rose stuff would make sense if this was a Rose based ROM, but umm.... as the title says... it's not :D
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Well, I replaced ALL bluetooth drivers with the drivers from the Roger's ROM (including the ones in the SYS folder) and it seems like I can turn on both BT and Wifi every time after a reboot. It doesn't lockup anymore. I'm gonna try to reboot it a few more times to be sure and it this works, I will be posting a new ROM in a few minutes with these issues fixed!
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Yep. BT and WiFi are solid now and no more freezing of the menus or slow downs are occuring. New ROM uploading now with ookba's stuff included as well :)
[HTC Excalibur] XJeFX:
Thanks NRGZ28! can't wait to try it :D
[HTC Excalibur] Ghostwarrior73:
GOOD WORK!!
[HTC Excalibur] donla:
Where I can find the new rom download, thanks in advance for your hard works. I love my Dash so much...Thanks again
[HTC Excalibur] ookba:
AWEEEEE-SUM! Flashing now, just got up, LOOOOONG night. :) But I'm sure u know how it is.
[HTC Excalibur] uansari1:
Now we just need your 96dpi conversion. ;)
[HTC Excalibur] MrBraun:
Tnx both NRGZ and ookba! ;)

Great work guys! :)
[HTC Excalibur] ookba:
Trust me, I'm digging deep to get it to work. Will have more time this weekend. Maybe I can collaborate with NRG and we can build a 96dpi version of the ROM! :)
[HTC Excalibur] jhwo99:
Thanks NRGZ and OOKBA for the great work but.. !

I can't connect anymore with the Exchange server--> No network coverage !

I have internet connection so there is something with ActiveSync.

And the Bluetooth icon is gone --> foud it, was behind the e-mail envelop..

Otherwise it looks stable.

Thanks.
[HTC Excalibur] uansari1:
Good to hear mate... I'm digging around trying to figure out how to incorporate Resco Explorer 2007 into the ROM. It does everything PHM Regedit and Total Commander do, plus we'd get to trim two apps to replace them with one.

Btw, has anyone figured out how to assign app shortcuts to the jogger? I miss that feature, as I used it to open CeleTask, and used the Tzones button to open Opera Mini...
[HTC Excalibur] ookba:
Activesync is working just fine for me connecting to my Exchange 2007 server using RPC over HTTP. I'm syncing as I type this. Check your setting again.
[HTC Excalibur] EasyTiger6x13:
Working Great

I effing love this rom it's nearrrrllyyy perfect but....

some tiny little problems..... well not tiny but meh.

The call quality, It's probably just me but I have full bars to the max and everytime I make a call it's reallllyyy reallllyyy staticy... Spellcheck? Probably spelt that wrong o well, anywhere theres a crapppp ton of white nose to the point where i can barely talk on the phone.

and on the next version, if there is one, like i said this one is now perfect other than call quality, do you think you can include a unzipper to unzip compressed folders? just a suggestion.

I feel like there was one more problem that I had but I can't remember it now but if I figure it out I will update .

Gracias, Danke, and Uh thank you to NRG and OOOOOOOOKBAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.....
[HTC Excalibur] jhwo99:
I can't make the VPN connection.

I can dream the settings but checked it again with my other phone.

i was updating my htc then my computer said that there wasw a problem with the updater so it closed it now when ever you turn it on the red, green and blue screen comes on nothing else i have tried to master reset but the same screen appears DO I HAVE TO RE-FLASH THE PHONE!!!!!

HELP
[Touch GSM General] cris_rowlands:
yes. lol

the best method is by downloading a new rom to put on

find the .nhb file, rename it ELF0IMG.nhb

get a memory card (1GB or smaller)

format it to FAT32 (my computer > right click on the drive > format)

and then copy the ELF0IMG.nhb file to it

put the memory card in your phone and press the reset button and hold down the camera button

when it asks you to, press the power button once

hope that works

Im trying to push a new browser to a system directory, but i dont have access to a pc at the moment. Can i achieve this without using a pc? Possibly through terminal emulator?
[G1 Android Development] beartard:
Yes, it's possible.

su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cp /sdcard/Contacts.apk /system/app/Contactcs.apk

and reboot.

For those wondering what the command means:

su = superuser...gives root privileges

mount = the command to mount drives as devices

-o rw,remount = sets options for remounting the drive as read/write (not read-only)

-t yaffs2 = tells the OS that the partition is yaffs2 format (rather than fat or ext2)

/dev/block/mtdblock3 = the device node for the partition

/system = the human-accessible mount point for the partition

cp = copy
[G1 Android Development] byransays:
didnt work. Mind you i tried to install the H build contacts.apk to G build, and im not sure if its really possible to do it.

when its all said and done, it shows a "broken link icon" and when you go to it, it says "application is not installed on your phone"
[G1 Android Development] bbbblack:
suggestion

It may not have worked because u have to move the contacts.apk first? Is there a line of code to move the original browser.apk to a directory for safety, then move the one from the sdcard into that spot?
[G1 Android Development] beartard:
I think this has been discussed before somewhere on here. The H contacts app depends on some other HTC things being installed to work.

The OP was asking about the browser, not contacts. The commands I gave do work. But you need more than just the Contacts.apk to get full functionality.

I was just showing that it *is* possible to do adb actions without adb or a pc. Sorry if using "Contacts.apk" in the example code confused anyone.

Here is an easy way to get wifi tether for root users working on an apps to sd build

First download www.tauruspc.net/tether.zip and extract to sd card

You can use oi file manager or any other file manager and install wifi tether. Don't start the app yet though. Once installed use term and enter the commands

su

sh /sdcard/wifitetherfix.sh

Then you can run wifi tether. It should auto install binaries. If it shows nothig on screen just press home and re-run and should be running with no problems no and less commands to remember.
[G1 Android Development] andonnguyen:
this also works when typed in terminal emulator or adb shell =]

First report:

I charged it fully, and used it a bit but I must say that i was drained pretty quickly, but it can be related to my extensive bluetooth use that I began with since I got my Bluetooth gamepad at the same time, and the first two or three charges are never good, they reach their full capacity after some charges. I will report back when I have tried it again, a good sidenote is that it is really lightweight and easy to carry around :)

[XPERIA X1 General] Firefall!:
I've found this neat tool: http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/page/nueDynamicClock.aspx

Has anyone used this on their X1 and did you notice any changes? I don't think you can use it for overclocking an X1. But I'm thinking about setting clock frequency to 19 MHz on Suspend, to get more out of my battery.
[XPERIA X1 General] gundamboy:
I've got this tool, not sure if it made much of a diff when I overclocked it to 528

( or just set it to the base clock speed since they have it underclocked @ 400 mhz ), wanna try the lower speeds, but not sure whether it will have a negative effect.
[XPERIA X1 General] fards:
I uninstalled it..

found that any apps (such as gps cycle computer, audiomanager etc) that played with the screen on didn't work very well when the speed was lowered. Also had quite a lot of instances when the screen was corrupted after coming out of suspend..
[XPERIA X1 General] mcfisch:
I use it since yesterday, so i can't say anything about changed battery lifetime. But i got it working only after setting min-clock to 384MHz. With lower settings the phone got frozen in standby mode after a while. I'll try it for a few days for testing a (hopefully) enhanced standby time...

PS: i use 384MHz in suspend mode and after idle time of 5s, didn't change max clock or voltage settings (all to "auto"). Maybe setting idle time to 2s would care more battery life, but i don't know how the cpu will stand changing the clock so much often...
[XPERIA X1 General] akp99:
Been using it since v1.0. Seems to have some battery gain (10% over 8 hours better) - set to default 528MHz, down to 256MHz idle and 122.98MHz on suspend and screen off. Needed 123MHz for clean audio playback in standby.

Only screen corruption (inversion) issues I had was when set too low (19MHz) at standby. Now using these settings for a few days and no issues so recommended for use with TFlo3D2.

Unless you're running WM6.5 with WM7 titanium - makes it very slow to respond out of standby.

And it doesn't overclock - 528MHz is default clock speed.
[XPERIA X1 General] Mark A Cilenti:
I wanted to try this but my X1 says no, here is the screen shot, due to security, I press yes and my X1 does a soft reset, then I try the program again and get the same thing.

Has anyone with a standard Official Rom 2 got this to work, and how ?
[XPERIA X1 General] Firefall!:
I have a standard R2A ROM and it works for me. Can't tell you what's the problem with your installation, though.

Anyway, I found since I installed the tool my device is worse than before. It sometimes interrupts audio playback when display is off (ALthough frequency in that case is still at 3xx MHz!) and sometimes it takes very long (5 secs +) to suspend and to wake up again. So I think I'm gonna remove it.
[XPERIA X1 General] Chaosstorm:
I only turned down the voltage to 1.1 instead of 1.325 running on 528MHz.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ripslymemc:
Hi there, I am new to this forum and I need some help with a phone decision. I had many choices, but I narrowed it down to just four. Here they are:

The kaiser, a blackberry curve 8320, a nokia e71, or a htc s740.

I need something good for texting and possibly music. I don't need internet, because there is wifi/internet wherever i go. I like the fact that you have windows office where you go with the kaiser, and possibly the s740, but I like the form and the 3rd party support for the e71 and the curve.

I am looking for a phone that is able to make calls consistently (my current phone is retarded in that aspect) and one that won't fail on me almost everyday. basically I want a smooth running os. the phones have almost the same features so I won't delve into that.

pricing. I can get a curve for around 100/120 and I can get a tilt for around that price. The other two phones I will have to save up for, but when it comes to a good phone price isn't that big of a factor.

so, what do you guys think? what phone should i get?
